Short version: After "watergate 2" blew up in the media's face-O'Keefe is now being accused of being a racist because he attended a conference. At the conference was FR's own Trueblackman.
In Max Blumenthal’s article “James O’Keefe’s race problem” for Salon.com of February 3, 2010, Mr. Blumenthal makes a number of unverifiable and provably false claims regarding James O’Keefe’s attendance at a 2006 conference called “Race and Conservatism.” Below are the list of quotes containing misinformation and an explanation of why they need to be addressed by the editors of your publication.

CLAIM: "O’Keefe lost his job at the Leadership Institute in 2008 for a prank call he made to an Ohio-based Planned Parenthood clinic."

Max Blumenthal....son of SID VICIOUS Blumnethal!! Say no more.
Cool!

Breitbart Confronts Blumenthal at CPAC (This is CLASSIC stuff; Must See TV!)
A funny thing happened on the last day of CPAC. Max Blumenthal, recently corrected and embarrassed “journalist” from Salon.com paraded through the convention with a camera crew. Like last year, he was looking for a confrontation of some kind. I’m not sure what Max uncovered in his fact-finding mission, but I know that as he was leaving, a confrontation found him.
Setting the record straight on the failed spin master in Max Blumenthal (Email to Breitbart)
Yes there is much I would like to add to the record that Max Blumenthal failed to research. 1)I found Project21 in 1998 via a web search at the same time I joined Free Republic and joined the group of my own freewill. Giving quotes in Press Releases, writing Op-ED and conducting media appearances mostly of my own accord. 2)I have been a simple advisor to Project 21 and I have never been paid or listed on their paid staff at anytime. 3)As far as my appearance at the Leadership Institute, I personally arranged my appearance and travel as I...
